You could have went with dragons, with magic, with bloodline powers, or even with the whole Camelot, since none of that really existed in Medieval Europe, but apparently it's being openly gay or black that is too unrealistic?
Not saying you are a raging bigot, but you gotta ask yourself: why exactly is that only straight white cisgender men should be allowed to be themselves in a made-up fantasy world?

About creative liberty, many people somehow forget that works in both ways.If is allowed to add black people in Medieval society, especially in higher classes , so must be allowed to make a film which places somewhere in central Africa during Antiquity or Medieval Age and pictures tribe where people have white skin*.
But in similar cases when black people pictured as white many as you unhappy with that and exist special term for that.Which is kinda really strange - if you okay with this why you not okay with similar?
*Personally hate this too.And unlike many people i will hate both things, without being hypocrite and telling that one thing awesome but similar - bad.

Want to remind, i'm not against this - specifically for me no difference who has some different colour or sexuality or orientation.Human is still human, no less, no more.But we have here a fucking Medieval Ages.

My opinion on creative liberty in fantasy - If anyone want to make fantasy with all kind of these things just make your fantasy world or choose one where they look believable and not messing with existing original descriptions.

Cases happened(mostly gay) but quite rarely and often that had a bad end.But even see someone with black skin or acting like a girl (for boys*) was ridiculous.

*As i remember opposite for girls was considered as strange, maybe really strange but certainly not bad in begginning. Still this was up to circumstances.

Okay, answer where i wrote where only straight white people allowed?My point is about accordance to realism.Story about Arthur and Morgana clearly take place on fantasy variation of Earth in Medieval Society that's not much different from real.Especially considering this story originally was made in Medieval Ages.
But fantasy world which haven't any relationship to Earth like Arda (Tolkin) haven't these restrictions and characters can be any skin colour, orientation or sexuality , except those who clearly was depicted in original books.
Completely own fantasy worlds haven't all kind of similar restictions at all.
P.S. Look my profile for games i played through comments which can be viewed in profile.You would be very surprised :/
P.P.S If someone depictures black as white many ppl hates him. But opposite somehow good.
Don't be hypocrites - both must be allowed or prohibited(personally prefer second option).
Sorry if it seemed like I was hating on you. I do think that if you’re wanting to play this game you shouldn’t be expecting stuff exactly out of the history book because then the author has no room for creative liberty, again I see what you mean that the creative liberty thing goes both ways. But again like I said; With the skin color options and sexuality and all of that, that’s a customization feature to make the person playing closer to the story.
Yes, slightly, perhaps in comparison to other commentator))
Nvm, my reaction on your comment wasn't perfect too.Due to things happens in the world i quite easily getting mad on this stuff.So take my apologies too(
I understand why this was made.And that's why rated game 5 stars from beginng.
Plus obviously my comment start and ended on positive note, explanation was in neutral language.
Maybe that was not so obvious because amount of text, but i wanted to make proper explanation for my point.
Agree that make person playing closer to the story, at least it must be.But only if person doesn't bother with society.Opinion to bastards was 100% realistic but listed things much much worse in this kind of society.
Maybe problem with me, but even if this is fantasy i just can't stop using Medieval society norms when this take place on Earth and original story was made in Medieval Ages when those rules pretty much applied to the story.
If it was just modern story that takes place on Medieval fantasy Earth this wouldn't be so much problem because easy explanation - magic and all other stuff changed some things.
